These past few years:

I read the whole Tikkun (the Chabad version?, though (unlike Hoshanna Rabba and Kinnos) I think it's pretty much the same, minus a bit of the Aramaic stuff), while listening with half an ear to 30/60 minute lectures throughout the night, then I go to Mikvah at the crack of dawn (before Alos) after wading (pun) my way through the 613 Mitzvos at the end of the Tikkum.

At the end of the night I feel refreshed and ready for Mattan Torah!

P.s. A video for Shavuos that I enjoyed.

Downunder, its a really long night. With tzeis before 6, even with waiting extra time before davening (for those that do), it finishes pretty early.

Alois is at ~6am, so theres plenty of time to do just about everything.

Anyone need to catch up a few mesachtas of daf yomi before the siyum? ;)

Stop trying to make us feel bad.

You guys make up for it Tisha Ba'av and Yom Kippur in a big way!

That's what most people are doing, the question is what are you doing after the start?...
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

So I ended up spending most of the night discussing nuclear fission, half-lives of various elements and what it would take to make an effective dirty bomb :)
